this is how i try to spend as much time as possible during our all-too-brief summer. the beach off to the left used to extend out almost to where the picture was taken from, but the last two years the lake level has been crazy high. you also used to be able to drive out there, and drinking on this beach was not technically allowed, but never enforced, so it was basically a huge party at all times. but now the road out is under water so this is the only way to get there without walking a mile.
everything bagel you can hardly see it from here, but the hill at the far left is where they do the d-day reenactment. the hill is probably 40-50 feet tall, with two flat steps on the way up. the reenactors load up in the boat from this beach, then ride through the gap in the breakwall right at the middle of the picture and unload on the other beach just outside the breakwall. then they run across the beach (probably somewhere between 50 and 100 yards), and up that hill where the axis reenactors are stationed.

i've never been to a west coast beach, but i've always heard that they have way better waves. hawaii has the best waves i've seen myself, depending on which side you're on. it's kind of like a miniature version of the US; one side is pretty calm and the other side has massive waves.
don't entirely discount us up here on the north coast either. it's not the ocean, but you would be surprised at how big they can get here. it's actually kind of scary at times, because great lake waves aren't like the ocean where it's a wave, then a break, then a wave. when there's big waves here they just come one right after the other so that if you get knocked down, you might not be able to get back up.

Originally posted by Tropical Breeze View PostThe west coast beaches, from my experience definitely has better waves than the east coast. Though the water is still pretty calm. There's none of that strong current. But i've only been to beaches around the Los Angeles area in the west. Venice, Santa Monica, etc.

hawaii was the same way. at least certain parts of it. granted, i was only there for 10 days, but it really didn't bother me. it also seems like if he really had a problem with it, that would make him more of a democrat. theoretically, they would want to help those guys improve their situation, whereas republicans would just leave them to rot on the beach.
